At 20% battery and at about 34 miles (55 km) the beep warnings (triple) start to become a problem on the slightest of inclines. Speed is either 24 or 27 kph. Rider weight is 220 lbs. I've never ridden the battery below 20%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rehab1 Posted April 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2018 I got geared up today anticipating taking the Tesla for it’s first major ride. My wife arrived home early and realized I was going riding. She did not see Tesla but was really pissed! I climbed into the truck and got halfway to the park and then turned around. Having a major fight this weekend was just not worth it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some way to compromise or? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to master my EUC to communit to work...I am making progress but I still have far to have my "mount everest"-challange I had set to myself. However 3 weeks ago my balance was so poor I couldn't stand on one legs (rather left or right) to put on my socks. Tomorrow I hope we escape the showers forecasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it has a built-in visor. What's the make & model? It is the new Giro Vanquish in Matte Black with no flashy side logo. It falls between an off road and bicycle helmet. I wanted something less intimidating when riding in the parks and on sidewalks. Since I plan to slow down at bit it should protect my noggin in a fall. Not cheap but it feels and fits great. The visor/ goggle is held on by a magnet strip. I also integrated a Marty RV Mirror into the helmet which required a minor modification but it looks built into the design. I’ll get a photo tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/Giro-Vanquish-Helmet-Matte-Firechrome/dp/B075RSKGSS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1523658095&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Giro+vanquish&psc=1&smid=A17U4P8R5Y7PAH Edited April 13, 2018 by Rehab1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice! Does the visor lift, or is it fixed? Check out the Giro video for this... If we Photoshop it onto Marty, from 0.10s to 0.16s it would look awesome! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have said, "No honey, I'm just on the way to go buy you a nice bouquet of flowers and some expensive jewelry from the rough side of town. I know how concerned you are about my health so I thought I'd just suit up for safety. That's all." "I'll be right back in about an hour to give you that back and foot massage as well! Toodles!" Practice that same stance (*sans Telsa) when you present her with that new diamond encrusted anniversary ring, and she'll be putty in your hands. Really, wimmin dig that crap. Go figure.

The visor is held on by a magnetic strip and it can be stored on the helmet inverted. Here are some photos of my helmet with the rearview mirror installed. I had to grind a small slot in the side of the visor for proper fit but it did affect the aesthetic appearance or structure. Awesome video!!!

Ya gotta pick your women carefully. Choose only the dumb ones with the big eyes who fall for that kind of stuff, and you're golden. Avoid those pesky smarty pants women who only are concerned about your safety, blah blah blah, permanent disability, blah blah, possible appendage amputation, blah blah, and all that other non-sense. Women should respect a man's right to live free and do whatever they want even though it could mean serious permanent damage to an already injured arm and need for repeated surgery. We men live for pain! Bring it on! Ah...then again, hmmm, hate to say it, but maybe your wife does have a point... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was expensive but that’s what I like about Amazon. If I wasn’t thrilled with the style and comfort I could easily have returned it. Of course I had to pull the old rehab1 and apply some gentle touches. I’m now stuck with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourtoys7 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 @Rehab1 sorry you couldn’t get away and I agree, women want the best for us, reminds me when I really wanted to by a bike. Her reaction over next couple days was not worth the bike, I gave up on that., but she’s completely ok w. me getting g the wheels. hopefully Soon she’ll see your side and would think different. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
